New York, N.Y. - Sports Illustrated Stadium, one of the New York metropolitan region's fastest-growing sports and entertainment destinations, today announced the inaugural "Sports Illustrated Stadium Concert Series" to be held over two nights on October 10-11, 2025.

Star-Studded Lineup Over Two Nights

The Sports Illustrated Stadium Concert Series spans two individually ticketed nights of top-tier, live performances across country, rap, hip-hop, and R&B, allowing fans to attend one or both events based on their musical preference. On Friday, October 10, legendary country music star Jason Aldean - three-time Academy of Country Music (ACM) Entertainer of the Year, multiple Country Music Association Award winner and ACM Artist of the Decade - will kick off the weekend, headlining a night of southern country tunes. Aldean will be joined by Warner Records' artist Warren Zeiders and rising stars Chase McDaniel, Lauren Gottshall, along with Aldean's country music pioneer and longtime touring partner, Dee Jay Silver.

Saturday, October 11, will celebrate the undeniable influence and legacy of hip-hop, rap and R&B, featuring headliner, music and film icon Ludacris -- a three-time Grammy Award winner and recipient of honors including MTV Best Rap Video Award, Hollywood Film Award, Screen Actors Guild Award, Critics' Choice Award and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He'll be joined by a powerhouse lineup of platinum-selling artists who helped define a generation of music, including Grammy Award, eight-time Billboard Award, American Music Award-winning singer, composer, actress and Hollywood Walk of Fame recipient, Ashanti, along with Flo Rida, Rick Ross and Fat Joe. This high-octane night promises once-in-a-lifetime moments, hosted by Grammy Award winner, INK.
